would be neat to somehow have a standard color coding. kinda how USB 3 is (usually) blue, maybe there could be thin bands of color on the connector?

better yet, maybe some raised bumps so visually impaired people could feel what type it was. for example one dot is USB 2, two could be USB 3, etc

Have you looked at the naming of the usb standards? No you havn't otherwise you wouldn't make this sensible suggestion.

the shenenigans with USB 3 naming you mean? you're right, this would be too logical for USB lol

Don't worry, they made it worse with usb 4.

USB 3.2 2x2 with 20 Gbps is the same as USB 4 Gen 2×2 with 20 Gbps

USB 4 Gen3x2 has 40 Gbps and was then renamed to USB 4 1.0
